Maple’s general coloration ranges from a yellowish-white to a light tan shade. Mineral streaks are common in Maple and turn darker when stained. The size and frequency of mineral streaks will vary and Manufacturer will allow streaks that are equal to or less less than 1/8“ wide and 2” long. Maple is generally responsive to light and its overall color will change (usually towards a light yellow shade) over time.
